Things I don't need to worry about/additional perks:

- No healthcare costs. Scraped elbow? Free. Brain surgery? Free.

- No saving up for college for my kids.

- 30 days of vacation + ~13 public holidays.

- No student loans (kinda-sorta, most people borrow money to not have to work during college), tuition is free in all universities and colleges.

- Goverment-paid pension savings

- On top of my salary, my employer also pays for

   - all insurances

   - 31,42% payroll tax (which I never see and is paid on top of my negotiated salary)

   - 10-15% of my salary is put in another pension savings account. Again, this is ON TOP of my salary.

   - private health insurance to fast track me to a specialist.
